TOPIC:

Does anyone want to put up the grades for next year (assuming no Kelmscott type penalties are handed out this offseason)?

If the league is consistent they may pay Noranda a visit, like Kelmscott.

Maggies, I've been involved at both Noranda recently (past 3 years) and previously at Basso for more than a decade. Can tell you categorically with hand on heart that at neither club have I ever been aware of money being paid to players period. Neither club has ever been in a good enough financial position to pay players. The 3rds team at Noranda exists because of the players that crossed from Basso and is a big reason that Noranda has any bar take at all. And if you ever wondered why a lot of 3rd grade players walked across with Dog I can tell you first hand that if ex league players are treated like 2nd class citizens the way some of us were after 10years+ service in top side by having to train at the side of the ground off the oval with basically no light in the twilights of our footy life because of senior coaches demands for total oval control then you soon start wondering why the hell you are there. Not sure if your comment is based on bad blood but can tell you much better facilities is the big reason some of us crossed over, the 'drug' culture that had started to arise at Basso being the other big reason. If you don't know what I'm talking about here then clearly you have turned a blind eye. I loved that club and was sad to see the way it was heading. By all reports things are a bit better now, I really hope this is the case!! For the record I've never been involved at a footy club with a culture as friendly to all grades of players and their families as that at Noranda.

I am pretty sure it is still two up and two down for a-c grades. Not too sure on e grades and d ressies etc.
C4
Will lose swan view and brentwood to c3 but will gain armadale and belmont

C3 will lose noranda and carlisle but gain Kenwick and manning

C2 will gain noranda and carlisle and lose kenwick and manning

C1 will lose kelmscott and wanneroo to b grade and gain high wycombe and stirling

B grade gain kelmy and wanneroo and lose stirling and wycombe

A grade gains kalamunda and west coast cowan and lost maddington and collegians.


I think i have that right?

Maggies all u have done this year is whinge. If there are issues you are concerned with go through the right channels to report them ( ie waafl) rather than stirring sh*# on a public forum. If u r a player or associated with the club you say you are then u r making them look silly.

C1 will gain Quinns and Canning VSP

Bully boy u r correct. I thought i was wrong but couldnt pick where haha.

Dont refer to shit i just posted i have missed four teams from each grade i think.

Try again
C3 will gain swan view and brentwood (up) and kenwick and manning (down)
Will lose noranda and carlisle (up) and armadale and belmont (down)

C2 will gain noranda carlisle (up from c3) thornlie and coolbinia (down from c1)
Will lose quinns and canning (up) manning and kenwick (down)

C1 will have quinns cvsp stirling and wycombe added.
Will lose wanneroo ( kelmy ( thornlie (c2) and coolbinia (c2)

B grade will gain maddo collegians (down from A) and wanneroo and kelmscott (up from c1)
Lose kala, west coast cowan, stirling and wycombe

I think i have that right now.
Congrats on the two flags bully boy

Welldone Whitey, you beat me to it.
What do you and others think about promotion relegation between C4 and D1?
Not sure if it was the A grade clubs that were against it, but I think it could work. Ive only swapped Wembley and Whitford in example below maybe as a trial for 2014.

Surely Frank would get some coin as player / coach?

That seems the only logical step now I would think to keep promoting and demoting sides, particularly in the lower divisons like C4 and D1.

From memory TA's won the D1 premiership last year and just missed out on a finals berth for the C4 this year. I just can't remember whether Wembley was in the D1 finals last year. I thought TA's played North Beach but maybe I'm wrong, so I can't figure out why the other Grand Final side didn't go up.
